domaindetails

What This Skill Does

The domaindetails skill provides OpenClaw users with a robust interface for gathering domain name intelligence. It leverages public WHOIS and RDAP databases to retrieve granular information about any registered domain, including registrar data, expiration dates, creation timestamps, nameserver configurations, and DNSSEC status. Beyond basic registry information, the skill features a comprehensive marketplace search capability that queries major domain aftermarket platforms, including Sedo, Afternic, Atom, Dynadot, Namecheap, NameSilo, and Unstoppable Domains. By integrating this skill, your AI agent gains the ability to perform reconnaissance on domain ownership and valuation status instantly without needing personal API keys or authentication headers.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/julianengel/domaindetails

Ensure that you have npx installed if you wish to utilize the optional CLI utility for local testing, which provides a convenient way to verify connectivity before deploying the agent-based integration.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for professionals and hobbyists alike. Security researchers can use it to verify the legitimacy of domains during threat hunting or phishing analysis. Domain investors can monitor specific keywords across multiple marketplaces to identify purchase opportunities. Developers and IT administrators can use it to troubleshoot DNS propagation or verify that domain registrations and SSL configurations are correct. It is also an excellent tool for content creators looking to verify if a brandable domain name is available for acquisition.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the WHOIS details for tech-startup-example.com and tell me when it is set to expire."
2. "Is the domain domain-deals-now.com listed for sale on any major marketplace? Please list the price if available."
3. "Perform a look up on the domain 'ai-services-pro.com' and let me know if it uses DNSSEC and who the registrar is."

Tips & Limitations

The domaindetails skill is free to use but operates under a strict rate limit of 100 requests per minute. While no authentication is required, users should be mindful of these limits when running large-scale batch scripts. Additionally, because the skill relies on external marketplace and WHOIS APIs, data availability may vary based on the registrar's privacy settings (e.g., WHOIS redaction) or the specific indexing status of the aftermarket providers. Always verify critical ownership data through official registrar portals if you are planning to make high-value acquisitions.
